To determine the most popular sport, we need to compare the number of votes each sport received from the students.

Here's the breakdown:

- Football: 35 votes
- Basketball: 62 votes
- Baseball: 20 votes
- Volleyball: 18 votes
- Hockey: 18 votes

We compare these numbers to find the highest one:

From these numbers, it is clear that Basketball received the highest number of votes with 62 votes.
